The SARS-CoV-2 virus that causes COVID-19 disease is a single-stranded positive-sense RNA virus (written as ssRNA+). Select the sequence of events in the host cell that best describes how SARS-CoV-2 produces mRNA that is then translated by host ribosomes into viral proteins. Which of the following is true about viral genome replication and protein synthesis? THERE ARE NO OPTION CHOICES FOR THESE QUESTIONS!!!

Each of the following statements describes a step in the replication of SARS-CoV-2. These steps are listed in random order. Read through the steps and, in the spaces provided below, list them in the order they occur in the human body. a. The virus releases its RNA genome into the cell. b. Viral RNA polymerase helps transcribe more copies of the virus's RNA. c. The virus binds to a receptor on a human cell's membrane. d. New viruses travel to the cell membrane of the infected cell and are released outside the cell. e. The virus's RNA is translated into proteins by the cell's ribosomes.

SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, belongs to the Coronaviridae family. Viruses under this family have a genome made of single-stranded positive-sense RNA. Is this similar to the viral genome of HIV? If so, do you think that – in theory – they would have similar replication cycles?
